White Square’s Capital Markets team advised SFI PJSC, Russia’s leading investment holding, on the initial public offering of shares of Europlan Leasing Company, the leading car leasing company in Russia.
The company had a market capitalisation of RUB 105 billion at the start of trading. The IPO attracted significant investor interest, with over 150,000 bids received. The aggregate demand from investors exceeded the supply at the upper end of the price range multiple times.
The deal has become one of the largest in the Russian equity market in recent years and the largest IPO in 2024.
White Square partner Sergey Volkov led the project team. Counsel Andrey Chernov and Associate Evgenia Shaymukhametova also worked on the project.
